A simple outfit ready for adventure--my backpacks always make an outfit seem instantly more adventure-y. Clutches are so impractical that they'd never end up on a true adventure. In heels and a clutch you go to your chosen destination and have a lovely time, but there's no room for spontaneity--there's no following a stranger on some mysterious quest. But when I wear a backpack I feel like there's no stopping me; I could go anywhere. Of course it'd be quite weird to follow a stranger and I haven't been on a mysterious quest in weeks, but the principle remains...
I love your outfit. Especially the hat. That's so cute :)
ReplyDeleteTee, hee. You're absolutely right! My tiny black leather backpack was my purse for the longest time. I also noticed that I tended to "bounce" or skip more often when I wear it. I just felt generally more youthful.
ReplyDeleteI'm more stiff when I have a clutch (which I don't usually carry around) or a shoulder bag.
Your post actually makes me WANT to go and carry around a backpack again as my everyday purse. I think it's generally hard for me in the winter time because of big coats.
Who doesn't want to feel free and young and playful and adventurous? Ha, thanks for the reminder!
Your outfit is cute, cute, cute as always. Nordic and sweet.

Hair looking very pretty! The jumper is super cosy!
ReplyDeleteAll of your winter outfit posts have had the most amazing backdrop. These woods are incredibly gorgeous. I live in LA and you make the snow look so romantic. Also I have been loving your bangs swept to the side. It has a great sophisticated vibe to it.
